October’s Child, Atom Egoyan, spent much of October in Europe, once the Toronto International Film Festival ended. We’ll have more to tell you about music in his life at a later date.

Acclaimed film and stage director Atom Egoyan (born in Cairo, raised in Victoria, BC) recently directed Feng Yi Teng, an opera composed by Guo Wenjing, which was presented at Luminato in June. Egoyan’s latest feature film, The Devil’s Knot, with a score by long-time collaborator Mychael Danna, premiered at TIFF on September 8 and will continue to premiere internationally through October and November. Egoyan, who directed Salome for the Canadian Opera Company last season, returns to direct Mozart’s Così fan tutte (January 8 to February 21).
